Problem posting images on the forum (color depth)

I was posting an idea on CVI idea exchange board and was continuously getting a generic error ("Codice di errore: caricamento non riuscito" which means "error code: unsuccessful loading") while trying to add an image.
After several studies and attempts I realized that the problem is not in the image size or name or whatsoever element but rather in the color depth: it arises with 32-bit images, while you can post 24-bit images without problems. This applies to other forum boards as well (just tested on CVI board and this actual message), I suppose it is a general rule.
I don't seem to have noted any note on this in the forum help: there exists some documentation on which objects the forums accept as attachments? You know: file types, image types and characteristics, object sizes and so on...
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Can you please advise HP's preferred method of posting images/pictorial essay of steps tried for solution in query made by posting members!
Many thanks in advance...
Click the "Insert Image" icon up in the tool bar when you compose a reply. It's immediately to the right of the "Insert Link" icon that looks like a chain link.
Some images have to wait for Moderators to clear them. This is to prevent users from posting obscene photos, etc.

How to fix gray background on images without checking "retain color depth"

I have a cover page on my report where the user can insert a logo image. The problem is that if the logo image has a white background it will turn the white background gray. I have figured out how to resolve this by checking "retain original image color depth.u201D The problem with this is that all the images in my report are larger so the report pdf file size goes from 3mb to 30mb. Is there a way to make the logo image appear as normal without having to check the retain color depth? I have tried adjusting the image in photoshop several different ways but havenu2019t figured it out yet.

That is exactly why the option is there. And why it is unchecked. Most people prefer to have smaller report size. The choice is small reports with the option unchecked and the loss of picture quality, or bigger reports with the option checked, retaining the picture quality. THis a by design and is not consiered to be a "bug". If you post the issue into the [idea place|https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports] perhaps it will get picked up as an enhancement, but that it the best I can suggest.

I am having a problem opening images in the Editor from iPhotos into photoshop elements

I am having a problem opening images in the Editor from iphoto (on my macbook pro) to the photoshop elements

What exactly is the problem? What happens when you try, and how are you trying to do this?

Help!!! How do I get the bit color depth the user has his screen set to?

Help!!! How do I get the bit color depth the user has his screen set to?
Thank you.

i'm not sure if it's what you 're looking for but it worked for me:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
for(int i=0;i<gs.length;i++){ //length is 1 (= i have only one screen? )
GraphicsDevice g=gs[ i ];
int nBits=g.getDisplayMode().getBitDepth(); //method getDisplayMode() only in jdk1.4 , i think
System.out.println( nBits+"");
output is 32 if i set my screen color to 32bits, 24 if...24, ...

What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?

Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image, select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
Please remove the slash that appears between the quotes and the greater than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.

@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

How do you post images in these forums

I've been wondering for a while. How do you post like a screen shot on these forums (so I can better illustrate me questions.)

Hi Caleb!
How To Post Images In  Discussions
Create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
Twango
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
Have Fun!

thx for any help ....
I'm running a nvidia card with the nvidia drivers and mesa ....

well there are a couple of things that i can spot. first in your monitor section there are no vertical or horizontal refresh rates. like so:
Section "Monitor"

Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DWE"
HorizSync 30-95
VertRefresh 50-160
ModelName "PnP Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
second, though i have been told on occassion they are not necessary, you have no resolution modes. like so:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
also note the stated default depth:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24

Posting images on a forum

I have an image in Flickr and want it visible in one of my forum posts. On Flickr, hovering over the image brings up a URL. That URL does not end in jpg or png (It is a screen snap.) How do I get it into my forum post? Thanks

Hi Dr. Dave!
Below is an amended version of my reply in the Thread linked to by skalicki`/Sasha.
You will notice some changes.
To post an image in  Discussions, create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
PICVAULT
Twango
tinypic
imageno
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Post the resulting line of text.
You can alternately insert the URL of the image between ! (Exclamation Marks) to have it appear in a post.
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
If the image is large, you can use this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here"target="_blank"><img src="Insert Same URL Here" width="Insert Desired Size Here"></a>
Desired Size is a number, dependent on the size to be displayed in the post, such as 20, 50, 200, etc. You can experiment with that number.
Below that type "Click to View Full Size".
The image will appear in the post at the size you selected, but when clicked, will open full screen.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
Or use Skitch.
Quoted from the Skitch website:
"Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing."

How to edit a post here in the forum?

I have noticed several posts in which the original author of the post went back into it to edit it.
How is that done? There have been many times I wanted to go back and edit.
Thank you.
Lorna in Southern California

Jabberwock, the experiment went like a slide on ice.
I did say that I would return in 15 minutes to edit a second time, but I got tied up in other things and returned to my office in about 40 minutes. I clicked onto my post as it existed in the forum list, but when it came up, it did not have that icon of the pen, so I figured that too much time had elapsed and I just let it go.
Lorna in Southern California
Edit: Oh oh. I think I discovered what might have happened. When I sent this message to be posted, a copy of the message remained "behind." THAT message had the pen icon on it. So my mistake was to go to the forum topic list for my message rather than to return to that particular page that acts like a holding tank for messages that I recently posted.
I might be way off base here, and if I am I hope someone clarifies so that anyone who is just starting out won't be misled by what I say here.....

PLEASE, CONFINE YOUR POSTS ONLY TO THE FORUM TOPIC

Please, confine all your posts to the forum topic, in this case,
Oracle 9i Lite. All the other posts (off-topic), should be
submitted to the respective forum. The majority of the messages
posted in this forum are totally off-topic...
thanks,
psalazar

Yes, it's correct when you say there is no forum reserved for
Oracle 8i subject, but it's also true that there are more
appropriated forums to post messages about Oracle 8i than
9iLite! For example: "Administration->Install and
Upgrade", "Database->General", and others more specific - if you
are having trouble in Oracle 8i on a Linux platform than you can
try "Platforms->Linux", ...
I think this forum ("9iLite") has no direct connection
with "Oracle 8i", if there isn't any issue that joins directly
Oracle Lite with Oracle Database.
This cross threading out-of-topic can corrupt at middle time the
nature of this or any other forum, and prejudice above all the
few ones that are trying to get the assistance in the right
forum.

How Do you post screenshots on the forum?

Sorry, I know this is the wrong place, but I didnt find the right one, and since I have a MacBook.
Anyway, does anyone know how to put screenshots in posts, because I've seen someone do it (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7561126#7561126).
I have a problem which I think needs a screenshot to help to explain, so can someone tell me how to put one one please??
Thanks!

Posting duplicates in the forum

Hi,
This is regarding Expdp Scheduler objects Open mode Redo logs I had an issue with Export and DBMS_SCHEDULER. I was not sure as to whether a DBA specialized in Export will be able to solve the issue or whether a person specialized in Scheduler will be able to resolve the issue. Also I wanted to provide my colleagues inputs from both the above specialists regarding the issue. Kindly allow an exception to the Posting duplicates rule in this case.
Sometimes I don't find answers to my questions. For example a query regarding SCHEDULER, RULES, RULESETS was posted by me in Scheduler forum in August. I had to move it to PL/SQL forum as there was no answer to my query. In such scenarios, I cannot drop the initial thread as it was primarily a SCHEDULER implementation using PL/SQL.
Kindly indicate to me the rule with respect to issues involving multiple concepts. We might have questions regarding all the concepts involved in the issue.
Hope this makes sense.
Many thanks

Problem displaying images from the content manager

I am displaying an html page from a <cm:select> but the images do not display.
I have set up the dmsbase directory as per the samplePortal, and loaded the content.
The HTML displays, but with errors for the images.
Here's the select from the portlet:
<cm:select contentHome="<%=ContentHelper.DEF_CONTENT_MANAGER_HOME%>"
query="type='page'"
id="textDocs"/>
<es:forEachInArray array="<%=textDocs%>" id="aTextDoc" type="com.bea.p13n.content.Content">
<cm:printDoc id="aTextDoc" failOnError="true" />
</es:forEachInArray>

OK, I found Greg's reply and that fixed it, once I played with it a bit.

Major problems logging in to the forum.

Tried to log in, and you said userid or password was no good.
So I asked you for my password and got a message saying to change it.
I just put in my original password, and that seemed to be fine.
Then I noticed that you'd changed my userid to my email address.
So I clicked the line that said to change userid.
When I put in my old userid, that was okay...I guess.
THEN you asked me for a screen name, and when I put it in, you said it was already taken.
Well, of course it was...by me!
So I tried several other really arcane screen names, just to get in, so I could leave feedback.
Nope, you said they all were taken (which I REALLY doubt).
I clicked on the link that said to leave feedback for the webmaster, and it took me here.
So, webmaster, please fix this: give me my original account back.

Hi Matchmaker,
